Easter Cakes in Swansea Life

Swansea Life'sApril magazine is out this week, featuring lots of glitz and glamour from the Swansea Fashion Addict Show. It also has lots of food and drink articles, including Sian's recipes for Easter Cakes.

Top of the shop is a recipe for a Decadent Chocolate Cake which will be perfect for Easter Sunday.

There is a simple recipe for making chocolate cornflake cakes with the children which is a perfect way to use up any leftover chocolate eggs. It is also a great way to encourage children to cook and to enjoy eating something that they have made.

The final recipe is an adaption of one of our favourite recipes.

Its a Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Bread & Butter Pudding. The combination of cinnamon and chocolate adds a new dimension to an old favourite.

The second cake we supplied through Home & Colonial Deli in Porthcawl. The person had asked for a Vampires Diaries Cake with bright red blood writing.

 The third one was for a 21st Birthday in Bridgend and the Lauren requested a Birthday Cake decorated with shoes and a handbag, complete with diamante diamonds.

We supply cakes all across South Wales and we can deliver direct to your home if required.

Checking in to the Atlantic Hotel in Porthcawl

There was a very special person checking in to the Atlantic Hotel in Porthcawl last week. Jimmy Booth was 60 and to celebrate we made a 60th Birthday cake complete with Louis Vetton suitcases and Jimmy sitting on top.

The cake was decorate by Mel, who is one of our talented cake decorators.

Profiterole Recipes for Swansea Life March Edition

Sian's recipes for March's Swansea Life Magazine are profiteroles.

Profiteroles are one of Swansea's most favourite desserts - judging by the amount we make every week. Most desserts go in and out of fashion but classic recipes such as profiteroles stand the test of time.

Get Welsh in Swansea

It is 'Get Welsh in Swansea' this week and to mark the occasion we have been asked to make some welsh themed cakes.

The first one was donated as a raffle prize during the Food & Drink festival held in St.Davids Square in Swansea on Saturday.

The second one was for a welsh rugby fans' 71st Birthday held in Porthcawl.

We have made Ospreys cakes, Scarlets cakes and Neath cakes but during the Six Nations we all come together as WELSH.

Come on Ryan and the boys.

 

Tour de France Yellow Jersey 40th Birthday Cake

If you are a cyclist enthusiast and its your 40th Birthday, then what better cake to have than a bright yellow jersey Tour de France Birthday Cake made by La Creme.

We delivered this cake to Skewen in Neath and the gentleman's mother cried when she saw the cake.

It made our day seeing her so happy.

If you have a special themed birthday cake in mind, why not ring Sian on 01639 813166 and "talk cake".
